Scientists have designed an affordable 'flow battery' membrane that could accelerate renewable energy for the electrical grid. How do you store renewable energy so it's there when you need it, even ...

US scientists claim to have discovered a membrane which could lead to cheaper large scale flow batteries. The material is an ion-selective, aqueous-compatible polymer with intrinsic microporosity ...

Redox flow batteries hold great promise when it comes to grid-scale storage of renewable energy, because they can hold vast amounts of it in huge tanks at relatively low cost. Regulating the flow of ...

Scientists from the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and the University of Warwick have conducted a review of all existing membranes for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRBs), in a bid to ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable flow battery that doesn't rely on expensive membranes to generate and store electricity. The device, they say, may one day enable ...

(Nanowerk News) The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a promising sustainable energy storage system. In a VRFB cell, an ion exchange membrane (IEM) is used to prevent formation of a cathode/anode ...

Switching to renewable energy sources is key for lessening our dependence on fossil fuels and protecting the environment, but there's a catch with deploying greener solutions at scale. When the wind ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California looking to crack the renewable energy storage problem have developed a new version of a redox flow battery from inexpensive and readily-available ...

Scientists have developed a high-current density water-based battery that can be suitable for residential use. The next-generation “flow battery” could help households store rooftop solar energy more ...

New blueprint for affordable, sustainable 'flow batteries' developed at Berkeley Lab could accelerate an electrical grid powered by the sun and wind How do you store renewable energy so it's there ...
